Karim Benzema seem to put Real Madrid ahead of Liverpool in the Champions League final. Here’s a look at the controversial call.
Karim Benzema’s goal was disallowed Saturday right before halftime Saturday against Liverpool in the Champions League final.
Following a lengthy VAR review, Benzema was deemed to be in an offside position after putting the ball into the net in the 43rd minute following a scramble in front of the Liverpool goal.
The goal was disallowed because Benzema’s teammate Federico Valverde got a touch on the ball before the Frenchman put it in goal.
The match remained scoreless going into halftime.
